TREETOP MINIMOON ESCAPE Cowdray Estate in Midhurst, West Sussex, has recently opened a four new tree houses, in collaboration with Tree House Retreats. Each one offers secluded accommodation in the heart of the 16,500-acre Estate, bringing Scandi-chic interiors to the surrounding woodland. The décor combines natural materials and antique furniture with contemporary artwork and locally-sourced designs. Floor-to-ceiling windows, wraparound balconies, and outdoor bathtubs complete the tree houses, and offer views over Cowdray’s worldrenowned polo fields, the historical Cowdray ruins and beyond to the South Downs. The quirky new accommodation sleeps two adults each and contains a spacious open plan living room and kitchen, a double bedroom with a king-size bed, and a bathroom with walk-in shower. Built using sustainably-sourced timber from the Estate, the tree houses were developed using a fabric first approach, maximising enery efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. The modern art that adorns the walls has been sourced in conjunction with Migrate Art, who collaborate with the world’s most significant contemporary artists to raise money for displaced and homeless communities across the globe. What’s more, guests will have access to their own personal electric vehicle to transport them between their cars and the woodland location, and bicycles to explore Cowdray and all its offerings. These include classic country pursuits, such as polo, golf and clay pigeon shooting, alongside wellness retreats, art classes, foraging walks through the grounds and stargazing. The tree houses are available to book online at www.treehouseretreats.com/book. Rates start at £388 per night, with a minimum three-night stay.

It’s often the case that boutiques only carry one or two sample sizes in each dress, so it can be difficult to get a good feel for your final big-day look if what's in store isn't close to your own usual size. So, she decided to change all of that and opened her own boutique, One Moment In Time, stocking each sample gown in sizes 8 to 30, so there really is something for everyone. “I feel passionate about making sure every bride feels amazing, no matter what their size,” Laura says. We chatted to her recently about everything from shopping sustainably to dealing with lack of body confidence. Click play or scan the QR code to see the full interview.

Matt is an established function/wedding singer who impressively performed at 50 gigs last year everywhere from pubs to weddings and corporate events. He’s been with RRS a little while already as a guitar tutor, as well as a live act, and he’s now set to make a fantastic addition to the company as its newest booking agent. Matt says, “I’m a live artist myself, and have been around the block a few times. I’ve been playing for more than 25 years, with experience of the pub circuit on the south coast, as well as playing in function bands all over the South of England. With this in mind, I’ve spent a fair bit of time looking for gigs for myself, and now look forward to doing the same for our roster.” RRS owner, Rose-Ann Raymond-Silvester says, “We as a company have had the privilege of being part of a lot of people’s special days and we look forward to seeing many more beautiful couples get married, as we help to make the memories that count.” Discover more about how RRS can help you plan your wedding entertainment at https://rrsagency.uk 10
